General Motors Co. said it has delayed the launch of its Chevrolet Cruze small car about three months until the third quarter of 2010 to ensure a flawless launch.
The delay also will give GM time to produce all variations of Cruze models, the automaker said Wednesday. It was not related to any problems associated with earlier Cruze launches in Europe or China, GM spokesman Klaus-Peter Martin said.
Industry analyst Erich Merkle of Autoconomy.com has not heard of any problems associated with the Cruze, but said GM needs a flawless launch in a competitive segment.
